i have 2 Snacks at work also

so i would not say i am going without food in between

but i am keeping it to 1200 cals per day

cept weekends are harder!!!

It sounds like you are on track...I carry snacks every day to work...sometimes I eat them, sometimes not. If you can stay in your calorie range then I don't think you need a fill. There is no rule that you have to have one - you'll know when you need one.

my thoughts exactly!!!

i had an appt yesterday for a fill and called to reschedule

my son graduates from college in June and i dont want to have ANYTHING go wrong between now and then

i will be in the car for days and dealing with my EX

i think thats enough for now

38 down

yes i do eat between meals

must have Snacks, have always been that way

just keeping it at 1200 total per day

so maybe the 17th of June i will get one, maybe not

i eat to fast also i know and i drink with meals

try not to drink much but do have some liquid with no probs

i know that wont be the case after a fill

plus doc is 2 hours away!!

thanks for your help and take care !!

If you aren't hungry all the time, you don't need a fill. For me, my hunger was much less just when I got the band then I had one fill and bam, it was totally gone.

Did he put Fluid in when you had the band placed? Mine did. I had 4 cc after surgery. Didn't know that until went for 6 wk visit. Have only had one fill , so I gave 5 cc and good restriction. Down 61 lb in 3 months. Guess it is different for everyone

That sounds like what my doctor would do. If we are losing 1-2 lbs a week he doesn't see any need for a fill. If not, and we aren't having any problems, then he will consider giving another fill.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
